I BUILD
SOFTWARE
THAT PEOPLE
ACTUALLY USE.

A workshop of products, personal tools, and friends-only apps — each one built to solve a real problem for a real person. Some grew up and got their own domain. Most live here.

THE SHELF

Shipped products with their own domain, real users, and a reason to exist beyond the workshop. Two graduated so far.

tin.games

A place to host small multiplayer games for people who'd rather play something weird than download an app.

Started as a way to play custom card games over Zoom during COVID’s long tail. Turned into a platform for hosting browser-based multiplayer games — no accounts, no installs, just a room code. It has real users now, which means I can’t break it on a Tuesday night anymore.

Middlewest Cards

A portfolio tracker for sports card collectors who want to know what their collection is actually worth today.

Built because every card tracker I found was either a spreadsheet or a $30/month SaaS aimed at dealers. This one tracks market prices, shows portfolio movement over time, and doesn’t try to sell you anything. Multi-user auth, real pricing data, the whole thing.

THE WORKBENCH

Personal tools I actually use — weekly, seasonally, or right now. Warm means active development. In use means it works and I rely on it.

Warm · On the bench

Kilter

A quieter climbing log for someone who wants to remember which problems they sent, and not much else.

Started three days ago. Every climbing app I tried wanted my grade, angle, style, mood, and attempt count. I wanted a list of problems and a checkbox. This is that. It’s rough. It’ll get less rough.

Carry

A golf scorecard that fits in your pocket and doesn't ask you to rate the course or share your round on social.

Every scorecard app wants to be a golf social network. I wanted to tap a number after each hole and see my score. Carry does that. It also tracks putts and fairways if you want, but it never makes you. Used it all last summer and it held up.

Meals

A meal planner that treats cooking like logistics, not lifestyle content.

I got tired of the Sunday-night question: what are we eating this week? This app lets you plan meals, generates a grocery list, and remembers what you’ve made before. Postgres backend, runs in Docker on the same box as everything else. My most-used app after Carry.

THE BACK TABLE

Seasonal apps, cold projects, and sketches. Not abandoned — just not warm. The back table is honest about what got made.
